ASCEND FAQ
What are the ASCEND Smart naming conventions for Amazon Alexa?
To get the most out ASCEND Smart's integration with Amazon Alexa, be sure to name your timer using common language that identifies the timer's location. Avoid using unnecessary numbers, abstract terms or jargon (e.g., 1F Home Timer). Instead, think about the everyday use of your timer and how you might refer to the space it's located to a friend or family member.
Good Examples:
- Front Hall
- Kitchen
